Chapter 9
~~~This was so fucking HUMILIATING! Ed groused as he huddled in his coat with the hood up and front closed tightly around his body, headed for headquarters. People stared at him, but the stares were not like the ones he was used to getting. These were not admiring eyes or curious eyes but "whats wrong with that guy" and "that guys acting strange" sort of looks. And he knew they were right. It was fairly warm out today so there was no reason to be wearing his coat all tucked and buttoned up like he was, and the added affect of his hood up over his head and pulled down low to hid part of his face did not help. But like hell he was going to go walking from his Inn to headquarters wearing what he had on. Damn that smug asshole of an ex Colonel. Leave it to the bastard to come up with something this humiliating and embarrassing. No the shit head couldnt of just taken him to bed, he couldnt of just ravished him, Ed knew he had wanted to, had seen the look in his eyes when he had suggested it, if Ed had won. But NOOOOOOO not that old shit head. He just HAD to do something to make him look ridiculous and he did. Ok he had looked at himself this morning and if he had to admit to only himself, he did look good, but then again he would look good in anything. Ed grinned smugly. Then laughed. Yes he could be way to concieted and vain at times but then again he was just being himself.
~~~Now back to the freaking humiliating thing. It wasnt bad enough that he would have to work in the colonels office all day wearing some skimpy black and white number with a little head dress to match. But hell if those fish net stockings weren't murder on his legs, it didnt help that one was metal and one was flesh and made the whole thing look a bit off, But add to it a freaking garter belt? It was damn uncomfortable. Luckily he was not going to have to wear heels, fuck Roy if he didnt like it, but even Charise had said that there was no way he could find a pair that would fit his flesh and automail feet, so he wore his boots, it through the whole outfit a bit off, but at least it made him feel a bit more like himself, not that he would forgive Roy for this. Oh Ed was defenitly going to kill his commanding officer. What made it all the worse was that the whole office no doubt knew about it by now, about the bet and about what he was going to be wearing today. It had been avoidable really. He had been sure he might of been able to keep hidden most of the day from everyone else, but in order to get the stupid outfit he had had to call in some help. He had had no idea where in the hell to get the required maid outfit that Roy had wanted, so he called the only person he just KNEW would know. Havoc. Why Havoc? Well Ed recalled a story Havoc told him once about this chick he had dated who liked to play fantasy rolls in the bedroom and so happened to work in a costume shop, where she got all her outfits from for her night time romps. So Ed had called.
~~~To say Havoc was not pleased at having been woken up at 3 am in the morning was an understatement. But once Ed explained what he needed and why he needed it, it took about another hour for Havoc to stop laughing and call his friend and get the said outfit for him. The woman, named Charise had dropped it off before 8 am in the morning, she had been sporting a big grin on her face and told him that Havoc had explained why she was dropping off a maids outfit for a guy. She found it funny but didnt laugh in his face, thank God Ed thought. Or he might of killed her. And that wouldnt have been a good idea since once he saw the damn outfit he had no idea how to put the damn thing on and not kill himself. Charise had stayed to help him out and even did his long hair up and in a bun like thing with whisps of hair falling here and there around the small black and lacy white crown thingy that would sit on top of his head. He had to admit, it made the outfit work way better than he had thought. But he did draw the line at the makeup she had wanted to apply on him. He had yelled at her and she had left laughing her tightly mini skirt clad ass out the door and out of the Inn. So Edward was sure Havoc had told everyone at the office by now about the bet and his attire that morning. He did not look forward to it at all. Roy was definitly goint to die. Ed ran diffrent scenerios of one trasnmuted Flame Alchemist, and thinking how no court in the world would find him quilty of murder when they found out what Roy had asked Ed to do. Nope. No one would blame him, if he murdered that smug bastard.
***************************************************************** ****************************
~~~Roy was at his desk bright and early that morning sporting a huge grin on his face. No one had questioned it, and by the smirks and chuckles he heard from most of the men in his office and the glare he got from Riza, his crew had heard of the bet and what one FullMetal would be wearing to the office that morning. He didnt question how they knew, his group of loyal subordinates were good and nothing ever got passed them, it was one of the things he admired about them. They were good and it was one of the reasons he surrounded himself with them. One needed loyal and smarter than smart people working for him if he wanted to reach the top. But he didnt forget his main goal, and that was to make sure he became boss and made sure he would not ever need to send said soldiers into a war where they might be killed or see horrors one should never have to see. They were part of the reason he worked so hard to become Furher. He didnt ever want to loose any of them in battle or have any of them come home with the haunting images of death and massacre, as he had.
~~~So Roy had been at his desk bright and early, almost giddy with anticipation. He couldnt wait to see if Edward actually came in wearing a maid outfit. Thruth be told, he had thrown that maid outfit in on the spur of the moment sort of thing. He hadnt meant to say it, but it had slipped through his lips and when the thought of Ed in a sexy little maid outfit filled his head, he couldnt shake the desire that coursed through him. He hoped reality was as good as his imagination.
"Luitenant General sir?" came the cool calm voice of Riza, he right hand, his most confidant and faithfull second in command. She didnt sound very happy at the moment, but then again with Riza it was hard to tell, she was a better person at keeping her face devoid of emotion than he was.
"Did you want something Hawkeye?" Roy asked, after he shook those enticing images of Ed in a maid outfit out of his head.
"Is it true sir?" she asked point blank and Roy knew what she was asking but decided to play innocent, for now.
"Is what true?"
"You know what Im talking about sir...Havoc told us he got a call from Edward Elric last night...something about loosing to you at poker and keeping his word." she stated as she raised an eyebrow and looked at him with curiousity and dissappointment?
"So thats how the office knew about it already...why did FullMetal call Havoc and tell him about it?" Roy mused outload.
"Because he remembered that Havoc dated a girl who works in a costume shop and he needed a certain costume it seems, in order to keep his word for loosing a certain wager to you sir." Riza explained and Roy grinned slightly. Oh to have seen Ed's face when he had made that call to Havoc and no doubt the look on Havocs face when he heard all about it.
"Ahhh...I see."
"Care to explain sir?" Riza asked in a very cold voice. But Mustang would not be intimidated, even if Riza could scare the shit out of him and many others with some of her looks.
"Not really Hawkeye...this was a wager between FullMetal and Myself...he will be working in my office so it shouldnt cause any mayhem in the workplace or keep everyone from doing thier work."
"It already is...you see the way everyone is behaving, they are waiting to see Edward in this so called outfit."
"They are behaving about as bad as they would when a new rumor arises or something arouses thier attention..no more worse than a wager or exchanging monies when a bet is won or lost." Roy stated in his expressionless tone.
"You know that is not true sir." Riza responded with a hint of anger.
"Isnt it?...care to tell me why this bothers you so much Hawkeye? No one is being hurt, or forced into doing anything against thier will...if FullMetal chooses to not comply with the wager then no harm no foul, I will not hold it against him nor force him into it, nor punish him if he does not comply.."
"I know that sir." Riza cut in sharply, Mustang raised a curious eyebrow.
"Then why so concerned about this?..its not the first time something like this had occured before...we've all made a few bets and wagers and have ended up doing some pretty odd things but it was all in fun, as this is...you do recall the time Breda lost that bet to Havoc do you not? Breda had to walk around in a blond wig with curls for the entire day."
"Thats diffrent sir."
"Really? How so Hawkeye? There was some humiliation I will admit, but it was all in fun and no one was hurt and no one forced Breda to go on with it if he did not want to, do you think that FullMetal could be forced to do this if he didnt truely want to do it? Even if it is only to save his reputation? Keep his word?" Roy asked, still intrigued why this seemed to bother Hawkeye so much.
"No sir...FullMetal would kill anyone who dared try..." Riza replied with a hint of resignition.
"There you then...if FullMetal chooses not to do this then so be it, it wont be held against him in anyway, he may loose a bit of face, but no one will hold it against him if he chooses not to do it, and if he does then no harm in that either, I do not see the problem in this Hawkeye..but if I have misslooked something and you have not I would eagerly like to hear it so that I may rectify it at all costs...I would not wish any harm to come to any of my men or women...especially FullMetal."
"Permission to speak frankly sir?" Riza asked with a ram rod back and salute.
"Youve always had that Hawkeye...permission granted."
"Its the fact that it IS FullMetal doing this that bothers me sir."
"Why?"
"Because...after all he's been through?? Dont you think that now that hes found some happiness in this world, that he deserves to live it?? Must we add to all the other sorrows in his past with this...this humilation sir?" Riza asked. Ah, so this was it then, Riza still had that motherly instinct going on when it came to any of the Elrics. She was just watching out for him, even though he was no longer a child, but a very grown up young man. Roy guessed that for someone like Riza some habits were hard to give up.
"I see....FullMetal should be here in ten or so minutes if he chooses to comply with the wagers...why dont you head him off before he reaches the offices and tell him for me that I call off all bets and wagers...that he is under no obligation to me or anyone else to do anything he is not comfortable with...tell him all bets were paid by the mony in the pot...that was the aim of the game..to win the pot and I did...nothing else need apply." Roy semi ordered his second and Riza sighed with relief. As much as Mustang wanted so badly to see Ed in a maid outfit, he would not cause any harm to Ed or to Riza. If it bothered her so much then he would not force the issure or make Edward feel as if he went back on his word. As the winner it was his perogative to call it off.
"Thank you sir." Riza saluted. Roy saluted back and dismissed her. Roy sighed and thought what a waist it was that he would never get to see the infamous FullMetal Alchemist in a tiny, sexy little Maid outfit. Or so he thought.
A/N~okies wasnt much action and all but trying to have some sort of plot here, lol although I have no idea where it may go, or how well it will go. But no worries we will all get to see Ed in the Maid outfit as well Roy..hehe...this was more of a filler chapter which I am sorry for...but I am having a bit of a struggle with the scene in my head and putting it down on paper so to speak. But it is coming have patience with me ok?? again thank you for all your reviewes, you guys are the best.
